wednesdays words

 

Words from Elizabethtown movie

via Quotebook on Tumblr. 

the love affair all began with a taxi ride.

                                        ... and here's to hoping the love affair will continue.

viva a mexico

 

I love that life surprises me sometimes. 

So when i think the universe isn't listening, it really is. 

Who knew that May would show me a new place? 

A little quaint town in a historical part of Guadalahara. 

Oh, Tlaquepaque. You charmed me. You grabbed hold of my tired  body and swept me through your markets, grasped hold of my sleepy eyes and opened them wide to your wonderful streets.You took me through your journey of your morning routine. 

Then came Guadalajara Centro. Old buildings, historical monuments, numerous fountains, wonderful buildings. And a city that somewhat reminds me of home plus the Mexican charm. I really have fallen in love. 

And you got me in one day.

... and the person who taught me that role

 

 

                         Dear mum, 

you always told me that one day i would know.

you always told me that i would feel it in my heart and soul.

and you always told me that one day i would truly understand.

i get it now. i really do.

thank you for being patient with me and

thank you for teaching me how to be the mother  that i am.

so to you my beautiful mother, on mother's day. 

you always did know i'd get it one day.

           

                                                 ❤ me

my most important role

 i am a mother.

it was all i ever imagined it to be and more,
but it is also harder than i ever thought it would be.
it is rewarding, it is happiness, it is laughter. it is love.

i am a mother.

it is how my own mother always said it would be, words i never believed.
i should have really listened.
it was something i wanted to be more than anything in this world.
it is a beautiful struggle. it is a pretty special thing.

i am a mother.
and i'm truly truly blessed.

thought for the day

8 am heat

Summer is definitely here. 

It's humid.

It's scorching at 8am.

You need three showers a day + a swim to cool off.

 in fact, you sweat right after each shower.

AND it's May already. Where has the year gone and why is it all moving so fast?  I haven't even done half the things I'd imagine I was doing at the almost-half-years mark.
I should have believed my folks when they always warned about wishing time away. Little did I know that you will wish for that time back.
